FRESHKILLS PARK

STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK

At nearly three times the size of New York City’s Central Park and only a stone’s throw away, Freshkills Park comprises over 1,000 acres of closed landfill and 450 acres of important wetland framed by spectacular views of downtown Manhattan. This award-winning Master Plan vision, for this 2,200 acre park designed by Field Operations, will guide the transformation from landfill to parklands over the next 30 years. The park is owned and operated by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation.
